摘要

Additive manufacturing (AM) 17-6 precipitation-hardening stainless steel fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) was selected as the raw material. The experimental results showed that both the as-printed and heat-treated samples consist of a martensitic matrix, with traces of retained austenite. The mechanical properties of different heat-treated samples indicate that one-step aging or double-aging precipitation treatment on AM 17-6 had positive effects on tensile properties, hardness and impact fracture toughness. Additionally, the tensile fracture surface analysis, compared with the stress-strain curve, confirmed the excellent ductility and toughness of AM 17-6. Finally, the relevant parameters were applied to the printing of the sliding specimen. The product was free of defects, and the tolerance dimension was within ± 0.1 mm. In the future, the sliding specimen will undergo an optimized heat treatment, followed by assembly and durability estimation.
